...college education is not a financial advantage, but a positive detriment according to Dr. Harold F. Clark, Professor of Education at Teachers College. Mr. Clark's two points to prove higher education financially unprofitable are not so revolutionary as his proposed cure. There is, to be sure, some significance in his statement that more men are being trained for certain professions than can be absorbed by them without a consequent lowering of the standards of remuneration. Recognition of this condition is necessary to prevent serious loss, but Mr. Clark's bureaucratic demands for state control of the number of professional...
Even more prone than Mr. Clark to rate the value of college training on a dollar and cents basis, state authorities are sure to administer even the most carefully constructed statutes in a mode dangerous to liberal tradition. To regulate the opportunity for the study of the arts and sciences by financial consideration is to forget completely the cultural motive behind these studies.

We used to make salt, too. Twenty-five grams impure they gave you. No, they don't test your stuff. I got nine grams yield...
They did in The Red Dance? Didya see it? No, in the afternoon, it only costs a quarter then. Sure she still works there. Sa-ay, she's smooth! But a big boy in a Cadillac calls for her every night. No, but Al tried. He drove up in front with his Chevy one time and blew the horn until the manager got a cop. Guess he was afraid of another riot. We students just don't have any riots. Didye get that one? It's a good pun. Well, even Kitty says puns...
